Up early for parkrun but car refused to start. Mumph!

Hard, hard, hard and I'm not sure how I'll go at event this afternoon - hills galore,

I knew I could never emulate tRicky's heroic high performance by doing two heavy sessions in a day. Today's event on another hilly area with Alex's very clever setting was really pushing me to my limits. Tried to contour as much as I could but blotted my record by being late - very late - and losing massive amounts of points. I had plenty of opportunity to drop controls on way in but I think the mistake I made was to include 3 points when I should have not done a couple of out and backs. Moderately happy with distance given terrain.

Didn't think I'd go all that well after the first km but seemed to get more determined as distance went on. No untoward signs - HR max as far as I can see was 141 so maybe 150 is my max allowable. I'll take that!

Really tough class.

Up at 5:30 for a few mouthfuls of yoghurt then pack car with slices, muffins, bread for NSW Paddlegaine. Arrived by 6:30 and helped set up. people came, people went - wonderful day orchestrated by Peels who have put an enormous amount of effort into this "brainwave". Went really despite it being very low tide. 5 craft cleared the course, 2 singles and 3 doubles so excellent course setting there!
Fantastic day when everyone pitched in and loads of very exhausted people at the end which going on past experience indicates they had a great time.
Word has it that next year could be a cyclogaine.
